    Duel Tank Question

    edelbrock fuel injection systems are some of the best aftermarket ones going. there super reliable. being one of the best also means comes with a hefty price tag. to help keep costs down for the avg. gearhead, they use an external fuel pump, as you have noted. yes, your single pump will run...

    ignition switch feeling stiff

    before ya rip apart your column, check your key. when they get a little worn, they can become cranky. i replaced the keys for my stepper and my crewy when they started getting hard to rotate and all my probs disappeared, and didn't have to touch the column. sometimes KISS can save you a lot of work.

    What gauge size/diameter to replace stock ??

    if your talking about these gauges, then ya, Mike is right, 2 1/16". as you have to irrevocably modify your cluster, i would suggest doing all the small gauges at once. when i bought my square, only the speedo was working. i was going to change all the gauges, but i got my fuel gauge working so...

    Dana 60 Death Wobble

    only had wobble on my 60 when i put my bias swamps on ( 42's) and it only happened at around 30 mph, go faster or slower and it would disappear, hold it at 30 and it could get pretty violent. new kingpin bushings, new bearings, spring bushings, cross over and stabilizers, nothing would get rid...

    Pissing match

    you need the 4x6 led headlights. my son wanted to upgrade the crappy sealed beams in his '91 firebird for some leds, but he didn't like the looks of most of the led headlamps. found some glass 4x6 leds that look totally factory. when i went halogen on my '85 crew i needed to modify the buckets...

    Champion radiator difficulties

    i think champion classify's them more by size. there web site says the 3 core will fit big and small blocks. and they have diff sizes of 2, 3, and 4 core rads for squares. i would suggest measure your stock rad then order the one closest in size to it. their 3 core was 1/8's difference in size...

    What did you pay for a square

    i remember in the '70's and '80's you could pick up a good runner for $500 all day long....where did those days go... overpaid for mine, but when you want it..... crew's are rare as hens teeth where i live, after searching for over 3 yrs, found one at a gov auction 900 miles away in 1997...

    What size lift to clear 40s?

    i question why guys slam their truck to within an inch of the pavement..... for me personally, the wheelbase on my crew is as long as a JK, for were we go, 33's on a 14ft wheelbase just don't cut it. plus i have always liked big lifted trucks since a kid, some people get off on lowriders, some...

    What size lift to clear 40s?

    with a 8" lift, i would put some bushwacker cut out flares on it instead. cut out flares are like a 3" body lift without the hassles (shifter linkage, fan shroud, grounds, shorter t-case shifter, goofy gap on your bumpers and box.....) i have an 8" lift with cut-outs and it clears a 42" with...

    Best gear ratio for 8 inch lift and 40s?

    all the more better to step up to a D60. they will shrug off a 42" swamp like a 33 incher, bigger brakes, bigger axles, bigger everything. bigger tires = bigger stress measure your shaft and spline count. my truck is a 1 ton so yours will be diff. i run a spicer 1350 high angle cv-will flex to...

    Best gear ratio for 8 inch lift and 40s?

    i'll throw my $0.02 in as well, as i drive a lifted chebby with both 38's and 42's. my combo is a little different than yours-454/T400/205. i have factory 4:56's and i find them about perfect whichever tires i'm running. truck will snap off the line like greased pig snot (surprised a few...
